Google 'study Spanish in Cuba' and you will find a few options. Studying Spanish in Cuba is not like studying Spanish in other countries with established language schools, as in México, Central America and South America. Even the 'schools' that advertise are often only promoting private lessons, held in your casa. Your casa owner will always know somebody who will be happy to give you lessons, and this would be more directly beneficial to the profe.

The cheapest (and probably the best) way to study Spanish in Cuba is at the University of Havana, but you need a little time to arrange that. Perhaps if you give us some clues as to when you are thinking of going to Cuba and for how long it will be easier to give specific information. And you can check out the University website as welI. I studied at the University of the Oriente in Santiago de Cuba - quite an experience.

Cuban Spanish is definitely different. If you are fond of consonants you will tear your hair out.

The accent, inflection and modismos are very different. For a beginner I would not recommend Cuba to start with but if you are more advanced you might find it interesting.

I always give the same info to this question.
The Spanish professor is Fabiola, living at Calle A, 107, in 'Vedado. Her tel is 8314504. Her manner
of instruction is very good. She has tutored many students in the past.

Thanks everybody- yeah I have heard that the "s" is less pronounced. I am actually interested in the methods used to teach Spanish there. I asked this probably oft asked question (where do they teach Spanish?) because I am looking for recent information. So are there no language schools as such in Havana? Thanks Sayeh I will be in Havana and yes I am used to language schools in Peru and Bolivia. Is the Spanish so terribly different or is it merely tempo and accent? Thanks also trapisondista; I will check out Fabiola.

If you are not really fluent then it will sound completely different. Worse than Argentina.
